Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the
relative teaching time and student effort required to
successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may
include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also
the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and
complete all assessment requirements, including any
non-classroom activities.

Course Description

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to explore and creatively apply the design process to the development of 2 dimensional (2D) forms. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.

National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

BSBDES302A Explore and apply the creative design process to 2D forms

Element:

1. Source information on 2-dimensional design

Performance Criteria:

1.1.Identify and access relevant sources of information on 2-dimensional design1.2.Evaluate and collate information to build a knowledge of 2-dimensional design

Element:

2. Explore the creative design process for 2-dimensional forms

Performance Criteria:

2.1.Use creative thinking techniques to generate a range of ideas and options2.2.Use experimentation to explore and challenge a range of different ideas2.3.Challenge assumptions, reflect on ideas and refine approaches2.4.Consciously change perspective, and evaluate ideas and situations in new ways

Element:

3. Communicate concepts or ideas through application of design process to 2-dimensional forms

Performance Criteria:

3.1.Investigate and reflect on how a particular concept or idea might be communicated in a 2-dimensional form3.2.Select materials, tools and equipment relevant to the realisation of the concept or idea 3.3.Apply a creative design process to produce a range of 2-dimensional concept realisations3.4.Reflect on own application of design process and success in communicating the concept or idea3.5.Seek and obtain feedback from others about the 2-dimensional form and its success in communicating the concept or idea3.6.Present and store concept realisations or samples in a format which takes account of the need for professional presentation and potential value for future work

Learning Outcomes

This unit applies to individuals who apply the creative design process to the development of 2-dimensional forms. The unit underpins many other specialised design units.

Required skills

•communication skills to explain ideas and to have discussions about design concepts with others•literacy skills to read and interpret information about 2-dimensional design•visual literacy skills to make judgements about the application of the design process to 2-dimensional forms.

Required knowledge

•copyright, moral rights, intellectual property issues and legislation, and their impact on aspects of design•creative thinking techniques that can be used as part of the design process•elements and principles of design as applied to 2-dimensional forms•materials, tools and equipment required for the design of 2-dimensional forms in the relevant work context•notion of individual interpretation and choice within the design process•particular challenges and issues in the design of 2-dimensional forms.

Overview of Assessment

Evidence of the following is essential: • production of a range of samples or concept realisations which show the creative application of processes to 2-dimensional forms • knowledge of the design process as it applies to 2-dimensional work.

Assessment Tasks

Participants will undertake 4 Assessment Tasks in order to complete this unitAll projects must be submitted & passed as competent in order to complete this course.Students can appy for an extension of time for medical reasons only. A medical certificate must be provided

There are four projects:

ASSESSMENT 1 Elements & Principles - Design Statement

ASSESSMENT 2 A2 Presentation Board

ASSESSMENT 3 Rug Design

ASSESSMENT 4 Visual Diary

Detailed briefs will be provided at the commence of the course. Please refer to the following link in Blackboard:

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unitEvidence of the following is essential:

•production of a range of samples or concept realisations which show the creative application of processes to 2-dimensional forms•knowledge of the design process as it applies to 2-dimensional work.

Context of and specific resources for assessmentAssessment must ensure:

•access to the materials resources and equipment needed to apply design processes to 2-dimensional forms.

Method of assessment:

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

•direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate•evaluation of samples or concept realisations produced by the candidate and interrogation of the creative process used•oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of 2-dimensional design.

Guidance information for assessment:

The design process does not occur in isolation. Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.

This course is run as an intensive over 7 weeks with 2 sessions per week. Part Time students will undertake a 10 week intensive with 1 session per week.

This gives students the opportity to emerse themselves in the course content and experience the pace of a professional industry environment through a simulated "design studio"

Exploration and discovery undertaken within the orientation week will be developed through this course. It is essential that students attend orientation week

This course has two types of assessment. One is numerical and one is competency . Assessment tasks are provided as an opportunity for you to demonstrate the required skills and knowledge in order to be deemend competent in this unit.

Graded assessment will be offered once competency has been achieved. Your teacher will provide further information on grading at the commencement of this course.

Should a student happen to miss a class, it is the students responsibility to catch up on missed course content. Students can refer to Blackboard for course content.
